Oerlikon Drive Systems segment, with its two brands Oerlikon Graziano and Oerlikon Fairfield, displayed its latest high-tech solutions for all types of construction machinery applications at the Bauma China exhibition in Shanghai from Nov. 22-25. Some highlights: 

Oerlikon Fairfield Torque Hub range of planetary drives deliver the torque output and long-life performance required for industrial machinery and off-highway mobile equipment. Available with integrated Torque Lock parking brake, the different models can be assembled on different applications in the off-highway, construction and mining market, a special mention of the E01 Electric drive and 7000 series electric wheel drive.

The high-torque strut type, which offers reduced shift effort and faster shift time, giving drivers greater vehicle control and improved productivity. Modular by design and available in single cone 153 or single-double cone 168-162/170 designation; the synchronizer can be characterized with a range of friction material options for optimized performance, as determined by individual transmission requirements. The heavy-duty strut-type synchronizers can also provide an upgrade from traditional, less-efficient, pin-type units.

This covers the entire motor grader needs from 10 to 20.5 tons machine operating weight. Quick adaptation to the ground conditions and excellent working performances in rough working condition or in fine levelling. Wet disc brakes fitted outboard on each wheel hub for greater braking capacity and performances in heavy conditions as mining.

PST 2-speeds F/R power-shift transmission, specifically designed for industrial applications suitable for FLT applications from 4 to 8 tons lifting capacity, is very reliable for Ground Support Equipment (GSE) applications as well up to 60,000 N drawbar pull or up to 40 Kph max speed.

Oerlikon Drive Systems segment is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of gears of all types and

sizes: spur, helical, bevel, Zerol and hypoid. The gear sizes range from 12 mm diameters used in high performance automotive transmissions up to two-meter diameter gears, which harness the power of wind turbines. 

Oerlikon Drive Systems segment manufactures crown wheel and pinion sets used in the most technical challenging or complex construction equipment, agricultural and specialist automotive applications, applying all the technologies available on the market today.
